WILLIAM C. CORNELIUS, OF CULLILVIAN, ALABAMA.

PUMP.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Feb. 10, 1920.

Application filed October 21, 1919. Serial No. 332,214.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM C. CORNE- LIUS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cullman, in the county of Cullman and State of Alabama, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pumps, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to hand operated pumps for raising water or other fluid from drilled wells; and it consists in the novel construction and combination of the parts hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section through a pump constructed according to this invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is a detail view of the spout and the upper part of the casing pipe showing the spout in a position to discharge the Water.

A casing pipe 2 is provided, and is secured in the upper end portion of a drilled well. This pipe is short and it forms the coping of the well. Arms 3 project upwardly from the casing pipe, and have horizontal guide rings 4 secured to them at suitable distances from the top of the pipe. Three arms are preferably provided, and their lower portions 5 are preferably bent outwardly to make more space between them. A spout 7 is pivoted to one side of the top edge of the casing pipe by a hinge 8. This spout has an enlargement 9 at one side of its hinge, and this enlargement is arranged to pass between two of the arms 3, and it has an annular flange or ring 10 which fits into the upper end of the casing pipe 2 when the spout is in its raised position, as shown in Fig. 3. The hinge 8 is arranged adjacent to one side of the ring 10, and the spout 7 folds downwardly outside the casing pipe 2 to a vertical position, as shown in Fig. 1.

A tubular well bucket 12 is provided, and is free to slide very loosely in the casing pipe and guide rings. This bucket has an eye 14: at its top for the attachment of a cord or rod for raising it and lowering it in the well.

The bucket has a bottom 14, and an inlet valve 15 which normally closes the inlet opening or passage 16 in the bottom 14, and which opens upwardly. The inlet valve has The bucket is raised and lowered in the well by hand or by any approved mechanical means. When the bucket is lowered it fills with liquid, and after it has been raised the spout is raised to the position shown in Fig. 3, and the bucket is lowered into its enlargement 9 so that the valve is raised by the contact of its stem with the bottom of the spout. This discharges the liquid through the delivery spout into any suitable receptacle.

The spout is usually kept in its raised position so that it closes the well, and prevents rubbish from getting into it.

What I claim is:

1. A casing pipe of relatively small diameter adapted to fit into the upper end portion of a driven well, a delivery spout having a receiving portion at one end which forms a cover for the upper end of the easing pipe, a hinge secured to the middle part of the spout and to the casing pipe and permitting the spout to be folded outside the casing pipe to a vertical position, and a well bucket slidable in the casing pipe and hav ing a valve at its lower end which is adapted to discharge the contents of the bucket into the said receiving portion when the spout is tilted crosswise of the casing pipe.

2. A casing pipe of relatively small diameter adapted to fit into the upper end portion of a driven well, arms projecting upwardly from the said pipe and provided with a guide, a delivery spout hinged to the casing pipe and arranged to project between the said arms when raised and having a ring for engaging with the upper end of the casing pipe, said spout being foldable downwardly outside the casing pipe to a vertical position, and a well bucket slidable in the said casing pipe and guide and having an inlet valve at its lower end adapted to discharge its contents into the delivery spout.

In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature.

WILLIAM C. CORNELIUS.
